Fergal Browne: This matter relates to the accident and emergency unit at St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny. The Minister for Health and Children visited the hospital last week and spoke about it leading the way and setting an example for other hospitals throughout the country. She is quoted as informing the Cabinet with regard to the latter. Unfortunately, the hospital is not receiving the rewards it...
- Seanad: Accident and Emergency Services. (28 Nov 2006)
Fergal Browne: I reiterate that construction will not commence until 2008. That is far too long to wait. I ask the Minister of State to intervene to see if the commencement date can be brought forward. The authorities at Wexford hospital invited television crews to film at its A&E unit and its redevelopment was fast-tracked as a result. However, St. Luke's appears to have been punished for playing by...
- Seanad: Leas Cross Nursing Home Report: Statements (29 Nov 2006)
Fergal Browne: I welcome the Minister of State and his official to the House. The Minister of State's last paragraph is laughable. It takes a great deal of imagination and creativity on his part to talk with a straight face about the Government's commitment to older people.

- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Nov 2006)
Fergal Browne: Last Tuesday I called for a debate on the nitrates directive which I am now seeking to extend to include farm inspections. Farmers should be given the courtesy of 24 hours, if not 48 hours, notice of an inspection. Given that so many operate on a part-time basis, it is the least they deserve. It is totally unfair that inspectors can arrive at a farm claiming to cover up to 1,200 items...
